According to Famitsu’s latest sales chart, Nintendo’s new release – Paper Mario: The Origami King<\/a><\/strong> – sold 109,092 copies in its first week in Japan. It debuted in second place – with the PlayStation 4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima<\/strong> taking out the top spot.<\/p>\n

How does this particular entry compare to previous Paper Mario launch weeks, though? According to Game Data Library<\/a>, it puts it in fifth place overall in terms of opening week physical sales. The best launch goes to Super Paper Mario<\/a><\/strong> on the Wii (2007), second place goes to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door<\/a><\/strong> (2004), in third is Paper Mario: Sticker Star<\/a><\/strong> (2012), and fourth place is the original Nintendo 64 outing (2000).<\/p>\n

Underneath the Origami King is the 2016 Wii U title Paper Mario: Color Splash<\/a><\/strong>. Here’s sales breakdown from GDL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Of course, this data doesn’t include Paper Mario: The Origami King’s digital sales on the Switch eShop. If this was taken into account, it may<\/em> have outperformed the past entries in its opening week – and keep in mind, digital game sales on Nintendo’s platforms are now stronger than ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n
